Book Description

April 14, 2009 Lifelong Books
Despite the abundance of parenting primers, no single book helped expectant parents focus on a key player in the process—the developing baby itself—until now. Postcards from the Bump teaches parents to recognize the many cues babies give about their burgeoning personalities and what they’ll be like once they’ve entered the world.

Here are true stories from moms, helpful tips, and how-to’s—from dressing your bump to planning a “babymoon” to learning what those cravings mean—as well as simple, indulgent recipes like “Gingerbread Patty Cakes” and “Dark Cluster Love Bars.” The perfect gift for the mommy-to-be, Postcards from the Bump takes the focus off the hardships, fears, and pounds of pregnancy and places it firmly on the babies.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Dallas Morning News, 4/28/09
“[The authors] offer wit, wisdom and whimsy in this lighthearted guide to those all-important nine months…Positive attitude, coupled with the duo’s breezy style give the book it ‘talking to a friend’ flavor. Extensive research, meanwhile, enabled them to pass on scientific insights into everything from bonding with your burgeoning bump to the reasons behind cravings.”

Yahoo! Shine, 4/30/09
“It's filled fun and quirky details and tips about pregnancy… Basically, it's like a bunch of your best girlfriends got together and wrote you a book. Instead of freaking you out, Postcards makes you smile…Along with being a nice Mother's Day gift for an expectant mom, you should add this to your list of potential baby shower gifts.”

BabySmartz, 5/14/09

5.0 out of 5 stars Postcards from the Bump, A Great Gift for Anyone Who Is Pregnant, May 27, 2009
By 
This review is from: Postcards from the Bump: A Chick's Guide to Getting to Know the Baby in Your Belly (Lifelong Books) (Paperback)
OK, I admit it. I bought it for a friend and, even though I'm not having any more babies, I was curious and read the entire book in two nights. It was a great, fun read and I loved it! I just bought 4 more copies for pregnant friends as I know it'll help them really bond with the baby in their bump and start some great memories. It's the perfect gift for anyone who is pregnant!

This review is from: Postcards from the Bump: A Chick's Guide to Getting to Know the Baby in Your Belly (Lifelong Books) (Paperback)
This book is a must read for anyone who is pregnant or anticipating getting pregnant (new moms, be forewarned, after this book you might find yourself asking for a do-over). A refreshing blend of humor and truly useful advice, the authors offer wonderful suggestions and anecdotes which encourage you to make the most of your pregnancy rather than simply rush toward the finish line. And anyone can enjoy the fantastic recipes!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, April 21, 2009
This review is from: Postcards from the Bump: A Chick's Guide to Getting to Know the Baby in Your Belly (Lifelong Books) (Paperback)
How refreshing!! Finally a book on pregnancy that looks at how we can bond with our babies before they are born instead of focusing on all the medical stuff. This is a must read for expecting Moms. It is full of heart warming stories, clever tips, and even great recipes! Happy reading!!
